- “I love their sponge because when you compare this is from Ania definitely Hera can you see a lot more thinner than Unicia”
- “They make it more softer and I feel in this way they don't really eat that much. So it's just easy to kind of control”
- “It gives you a little cooling effect”
- “Can you see my smile lines here? Little less. But can you see Hera's smile lines are disaster”11:55–12:01
- “If you have dry mature skin girlies and if you just pick the product for the oily combo skin, it has more more powder in there. But our skin is more wrinkly. So if you think about more powder at the wrinkle, wrinkle shows up more visible”12:03–12:07
- “Hera black foundation definitely I just tried out. Worth it quality grade. The coverage it's like not super high coverage as a tier two but definitely like a medium high and I feel it was really more matte because it felt a lot more lighter but at the same time matte”12:21–12:26
